All of us suffering a lot due to closing of weekly market for freshvegetable, fruits and other daily need stuffs.Any one has information about the re-start of the Weekly Market.regards,Arvind-------------------------------------I fully support the suggestion made by Mr. Arvind.We are really disturbed with the non-availability of fresh availabilityof fruits & vegetables in Dwarka. Each sectors had its own weeklymarkets which caters the fruits & vegetable need of lacs of residents inDwarka subcity. With the untimely closure of these weekly markets by thehigh handedness of police & govt. machineries (in the name of sucurityreasons), all are suffering from the daily needs. Due to lack of goodvegetable vendors, we have to compromise on sub-standard quality itemswith higher cost.Can anyone suggest how to bring these weekly market back to normal....Regard sthirumalesh-----------------------------------------------------------------If you recall many members had expressed the view and shared the information on the cited subject.It was understood that on the request of some residents of Dwarka DDA had given refrence to Delhi Police to close these local market.I , on behalf of my RWA wrote a letter to SHO,Dwarka for restoration and simultaneously requested all members to write SHO.In my view only option available is to make them understand the necessity of these market otherwise they are at the view that it is not required for Dwarka People.Those who think it may be restored can take action . Otherwise, this is the end of our traditional Haat as we have developed enough perhaps?RegardsSushil---------------------------------------------------------------I am of the opinion that something should be done immediately to restore the weekly markets. These markets were the source of not only fresh fruits, vegetables etc but also provided many other necessities which are not available in established shops. The commodities there were cheaper compared to the regular shops. I see no reason why these markets should not be allowed. The market in my area (sector 7 sector 9) did not inconvenience anyone.Closure of these markets has also damaged the livelihoods of the poor vendors. I also would like to strongly condemn the ill-treatment meted to them by police personnel when they try to set up their carts at the roadside (which earlier used to be their sitting place in the weekly market).I strongly suggest that we initiate some actiosn to bring the weekly markets back.Regards,Soumen Biswas---------------------------------------------------------------------This was discussed at length earlier also,, pls see the posting and well covered in the Dwarka Plus/HT West Delhi etc.Yes, this required but there must be a SYSTEM. They must be given NOT on Roads Nor on the SERVICE ROADS.Dwarka got enough open space which are not given to public/private.. Let DDA allot one place in each sector.Give it a group of people with 6 Months Permission. NO PERMANENT CONSTRUCTION/ NO TEMPRORY CONSTRUCTION.ONLY on TROLLY or on the GROUND.In the meantime DDA must finalise a Vegetable/Fruit Market on Central Portion of Dwarka properlly arranged and give it those vendors or there may be soceities or NGO who run for them.Current system where MAFIA people are running these vegetabel markets or Rikshaws are not in the interest of anyone in the LONGER RUN.In sect 9 behind Motherdairy you will find place marked for Vegetable shops.. but NO one there WHY ??A good number of Local Shopping Centre and Convenience Shopping Centre earmarked are NOT constructed or constructed not allotted by DDA to help private builders.It is not the Police only stopped as per information it DDA also. Why they are not taking any action against illeagle encroachments and even those Eating Vans parked on PEDESTRAIN ways..Please ensure we also help authorities to have a system. If we found something wrong then COMMUNICATE to them.If the authorities are wrong mention it to them.We all are part of the system.. Together we need to change..Atleast let make efforts to have Dwarka a better place.So ask authorities to do it in proper way and systematically NOT by harassing like this by removing market one fine day while allowing it from day one without any restrictions.This is what my personal view.Thanking you,Rejimon-------------------------------------------------------------------I agree with you as every wife or mother like mine does not have a car to go shopping , for them these markets were a heaven.We should take decisions in the interest of all the people who stay in Dwarka.RegardsRajeevwe can all write to the SHO through individual's RWA of each society to restart these essential market. it is indeed very unfair on the part of the DDA /Police to close them becuase they could not be nuisance to anybody especially when they are being held in the deserted service lanes particularly in our area, they were held at the service lane opposite to Gayatri aptmts sec.9, which does not have any residence. It is the buyers like us who park the cars wrongly on the roads while purchasing, which could have caused the problem to the residents or road users and not the vegetable vendors- if at all the hawkers have to be removed totally from delhi, then it is the thelas selling tea, cigarettes gutka etc. which are more of an ugly site that we have to see daily rather than weekly market.rgds/pradeep k. ivon-------------------------------------------------------------I agree with you all. A market being organized for the benefit of masses can not be a nuisance. I was recently in Belgium and there also every Sunday there is a weekly market on the same pattern as we do have and that is not on the deserted roads/ service lanes but in the middle of the main city and its very very big as compared to our market. The only difference is that the traffic is managed by the police and people also behave in a disciplined way (do not enter from the wrong side of specially converted one way roads for the market) and also park their vehicles at the designated places only.I have no reason to get convinced that the same practice can not be followed here with little customization to meet the local needs.If some thing is to be removed then it is not these markets but the following:Encroachments in the corridors by the Sweet shops and other shopsEncroachment by Dwarkadheesh temple (Sec 12)Encroachment by hawkers on all the foothpathsEncroachment by many shopkeepers in the markets by way of parking many many vehicles (tata sky shop in sector 4, car repair shops etc.)Sincerely,Devender K. Madan---------------------------------------------------------------Due to the closure of weekly markets, yes, there is a vacuum and there are problems to the residents, especially for ladies and senior citizens.But, why they were removed, who removed them.We are worried about the non availability of vegetables.But the authorities are worried about the resultant security problems, cleanliness, traffic diversions / jams during market days, non-availability of additional traffic & police personnel to man the area on those days, proximity of airport, recent thefts/ murder/ car jacking in the area, recent incidents of sighting few terrorist connections in Dwarka, etc. etc. Over & above, we always remind the authorities in our correspondence: "Dwarka a 'ZER0' tolerance zone". Therefore, the authorities, probably wanted to show that "we are serious" and caught the poor vegetable vendors.How can we take advantage out of the situation?To fill the vacuum, instead of calling the weekly market back, why can't we approach RELIANCE, NAFED, MOTHER DAIRY, etc. and ask them to come and open their outlet in each sector. This will be a isciplined, clean, permanet solution without any serious repuurcussions.Members may give a thought / comments.P.MenonThat is a good suggestion. we should all send off letters to thestores you mentioned below and try to bring to their attention that astore in dwarka would be good for both them and us. I think the whole0 tolerance thing might have triggered this behavior with the DDA andperhaps? they were getting too agitated at all the RTI filings andfelt that they could send out warning signals to the people of Dwarkawho dared challenge them. The closure of vegetable vendors would havebeen great had there been alternate arrangements.Side note: We must continue with the RTI filings as we have been doingand not surrender to anyone regarding this and my speculation shouldnot be taken that I am discouraging that we not keep the authoritieson their toes regarding their duties.Some hearsay recently came that such weekly markets were removed at theinstance of Reliance Fresh Stores soon to be opened in Dwarka sub-city.They must have deployed all their might in ensuring that such markets donot resurface in future. May be we put up this case with the localcounselor at Dwarka if anyone knows of them.Mukul Verma----------------------------------------------------------Even I have heard the same thing. Relaince must have paid heavely to the cops to ensure these, weekly markets, which i would say essential market, since Dwarka does not have a subji mandi nor a proper vegetable market, does not come up. I read some of the mails that people have written, that people should approch the retail outlets. Would like to inform them that it sounds and looks very nice that these will be neat and clean outlets. But you will not get fresh vegetables here. We have tried reliance outlet...the vegetables doesnt last for more than a day...it starts shriking and sogging...because it is kept in cold storage and the prices are naturally high...so much for retail outets.The weekly markets are nothing new. Even in Janakpuri and even in RK puram we have these weekly markets. So I cannot understand why so much of noise is made only in Dwarka. If the traffic needs to be regulated then its the job of the traffic police to do it. So why are they shying away. And they are the first one to take "hafta" from these poor vegetable vendors.So the bottom line is we need these weekly markets which is the only source of fresh veges. And this needs to be taken up seriously with the police guys and respect authroties. I know lot of efforts are being made by all of you. Lets hope they are back soon and we all get fresh vegetables.Regards,Sudha--------------------------------------------------------------------Most of these retail stores (Reliance Fresh, Big Apple, to name few) do not have fresh stock all the time, mostly it is stale kept in deep freezers. This is the opinion of most of people who have visited these stores located at Kakrola Mor.Adverse reviews about such stores are also available on the net.Authorities must not have missed some designated place for these markets while planning Dwarka, it is only implementation part which is required.I am not against ZERO tolerance, but this should be applicable universally to one and all. We have been tolerating Encroachments in front of shops, Wrong side driving (with high beam), Parking on roads, Garbage spilling off ill-maintained Green & Blue bins generating foul smell and attracting insects, Stray dogs, Digging of roads (by IGL) after fresh layer is laid, etc.Also we have been tolerating the sleeping authorities.Regards,AnuragI do support the idea of having some organised vends like Mother Dairy etc. If we can insist on the concerned authority for providing at least two Mother Dairy outlets in each sector of Dwarka. This will cater to our needs on a daily basis and almost 15 hours a day. Is it not a better way than having only weekly vegetable market ?Regards, Sabyasachi Roy------------------------------------------------

there should be minimum 2 mother dairy in each Sector. Let's suggest how we can approach authorities / to whom should be approached for the same.

thanks anil nayal------------------------------------------------

why some people r so enthusiastic abt reliance stores? most of the stores( including Subhiksha) have rotting vegetables lying about on a sorry state. and there is hardly any price difference except 4 a few types of veg.s . Weekly mkts shud be started again, they r a much better option than all these stores with stale vegies. Anand---------------------------------------------------------It is definitely an alternative. But it is not a solution. Because I have visited so many time the sector 9 and sector 7 mother diary..even there the prices are jacked up. There is another vendor who sites right opposite to this mother diary guy..and he will have the prices just about 50 paise or a 1 rupee more.As I have said..Mother diary is a good alternative than the retail outlets, but we would still need the weeklymarket. As this is not a new concept in Delhi it should and cannot be outlawed by the vested interests. Thats my point.If regulating the traffic is the concern, then this should be addressed. This is what happens in other areas in Janakpuri and RK Puram and by the way how long does the market function - 4 to 5 hours in late evenings so whats the issue. Its not a day long market where the lane/roads is blocked. I think these should be raised. I very much doubt that any one would have made complaint against these essential market.I am not sure if these have already been addressd the Police guys. If not then I think a letter should be sent to them. Best regards, Sudha

DwarkaParichay.com is a platform for all the residents, RWA's and agencies of Dwarka to share the opinions pertaining to the problems faced by the residents and their solutions.Dwarka, the largest sub-city in Asia which is meant to accommodate a population of more than 10 lacs, presently has 6 lacs+ people residing in it in more than 400 societies.Dwarka is an upcoming sub-city, and despite being relatively densely populated, still has free-space available which is earmarked for several utilities and services, but not much has been materialized.

Unlike other parts of Delhi, Dwarka is more severely and adversely affected, owing primarily to concentrated population and partially developed infrastructure and thus has been left grappling with myriad of problems some of which are being summarized:

Water Problem: There is huge gap between the demand and supply of potable water. As per the information contained in the 55th PAC Report presented to the parliament, there is shortage of 7 MGD water in Dwarka. It is therefore, requested to take up the matter on priority basis.

Voters Card: More than 90 % of Dwarkaites does not have voting card. Till now no effective action/ step has been initiated to make Voter I Card of Dwarkaites. It is requested that mobile camps should be available at the various sector of Dwarka.

C.G.H.S scam –Innocent residents are being forced to suffer owing to the long-pending CGHS Society scam. More than 100 societies have been adversely affected under this scam. The residents strongly demand that this be resolved at the earliest. Our website DwarkaParichay.com has been receiving lot of messages enquiring the present status of this issue which needs to be resolved expediently. Although all the societies are being screened under this, at least those which are undisputed societies, the allotment should be held immediately.

- Bad condition of roads & service lane- Regular 4 hour power cuts in various sectors- Expedite the commissioning of Medical Facilities- Requirement of more Traffic Police- poor maintenance of parks- path to metro station from various sectors not safe - long bushes, darkness- Inter transport system in Dwarka not available- parking problem at various markets in dwarka- Need for a reference library-Regular trimming of shrubs & bushes alongside roads, societies, parks anddividers at the traffic intersections- Lack of entertainment facilities and malls- Check the stray cattle and dog menace

Warm greetings from the Kailash Colony and Dwarka Centres. We hope all enjoyed the Diwali celebrations. We're glad to see you picking up your regular practice again.

For those of you still preparing to get started, now is a good time. You can keep the circulation going and keep warm through the winter as a result. Also kapalabhati will help to keep the lungs clear of the winter smog and free from colds and infections. The children can also have a good start with Kids camps being held at both the Centres at the end of the month.

We were happy to have hosted the organisation's India Directors' Meetings in Dwarka in November. As a bi-annual meeting of the directors of all our Centres and Ashrams in India with acharya, Swami Mahadevananda ji, it is a rare and special occasion when we all get together. Some of you may have had the opportunity to come for satsang with Swami Mahadevananda. We're sure you were inspired. We have satsangs every weekend giving opportunity to appreciate life through bhakti yoga as well as to contemplate the ancient teachings and practice of Yoga. Special satsang programmes include Maa Purnananda Ji who will be continuing her discourses on Maharishi Patanjali's Raja Yoga Sutras; and we'll also be having carol singing around Christmas time, which is always fun and joyful.

Finally the most exciting news is probably the long awaited inauguration of the lift at the Dwarka Centre last Saturday. Although the students may not be so concerned……. the staff appreciate it a lot!

May Master and Swamiji's blessings guide you in your steps on the yogic path.

Om Shanti

A unique week for Dwarkaites was concluded with a big success of 2nd SHC Dwarka Mini marathon

SHC India in association with Lions Club Dwarka organized “FUN FEAST & FITNESS” - a unique week for everyone in Dwarka. The objective was to spread awareness about hemophilia- a bleeding disorder affecting over one lakh people in India and encourage life style changes in our progressive communities particularly in Dwarka.

Health Camp: November 24 (SATURDAY)This health camp was attended by about 100 people who came and interacted with Dr. Madan, a cardiologist and Dr. Manika dietician on life style conditions. Yoga speacialist Mr. Anil Mudgil interacted with participants on how yoga can control various conditions resulting due to our defective life styles.

2nd SHC Dwarka Mini Marathon: November 25 (SUNDAY)This was the greatest and the biggest event in Dwarka held for the second year in succession. More than 1000 people ran various types of races and won prizes worth more than Rs.1 lakh.Baby Muskan Malhotra- a 6 year old girl was the best Mini Marathon special winner. She is the youngest girl who could answer correctly to what hemophilia is. She said "hemophilia is a deficiency disease of blood where the bleeding does not stop easily. It can stop if a child receives treatment with clotting factors".The Mini marathon was flagged off by Ms. Asha Aggarwal, an Arjun Awardee and international marathoner.During thanks giving Mr. Kapoor, Chairman of the Society for Hemophilia Care-SHC India said that Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder affecting about 1 lakh families in India. Due to lack of awareness and diagnostic facilities only 10% of such children have been diagnosed as of now. Prohibitively expensive treatment is the biggest deterrent in hemophilia treatment leading to disabilities and other social problems.SHC India is providing the treatment support to such people at highly subsidized cost and sometimes free as well keeping in view its meager resources which it raises through public donations."Society for Hemophilia Care" - a registered all India Voluntary Organisation is working for such deprived people. It has organs in the States of J & K, Punjab, Delhi, U.P., Bihar, Jharkhand, Karnataka and Kerala.

Winners of 2nd SHC Dwarka Mini Marathon-2007The first three winners in each race received medals alongwith beautiful prizes. And the next 6 in each category received consolation prizes.

6 year young baby Muskaan Malhotra was the Special Prize winner for answering the question on Hemophilia correctly.

Views:*There is nothing wrong in being the teacher’s pet :-Yes, it is true but if the child is careless , practice in buttering & taking advantage of the teacher’s favour then it is not fair. On the other hand, if the child is talented , intelligent & obedient then there is nothing wrong in being the teacher’s pet.

*Adventure Sports should be made compulsory in Schools:-Adventure sports have thrill . That’s why they are becoming so popular in schools. Off course, they make the students physically and mentally fit. It’s also helpful to create interest in sports activities among the pupils. Consequently, we’ll be able to flourish at Olympics as well as at International sports arena.(The above articles had already published in HT School Times on 22nd,January,2007 )

God Grant us the Serenity To accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can & Wisdom to know the difference

Alcoholics Anonymous, a fellowship of recovering alcoholics is non Professional. Membership of Alcoholics Anonymous is absolutely free . There are no dues or fees, nor detailed membership records.

We are fully self supporting through our own contributions and decline politely all outside financial help to be able to stand on our own. We are not affiliated to any institution, religious organisation or political body. Anonymity of members is maintained strictly.

AA's life saving message of hope has reached 2.2 million alcoholics in 183 countries who face insanity or death, not knowing the existence of this simple spiritual programme of recovery. We also hope to reach out to their families and society to help avoid consequences of the disease such as violence, economic deprivation and street crime among the various other ills.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help others to achieve sobriety.

What AA does

At meetings AA members share their recovery experience with anyone seeking help with a drinking problem, and give person-to-person services or ‘Sponsorship' to the alcoholics coming to AA. The AA program, as set forth in the Twelve Steps to recovery, offers the alcoholic an opportunity to develop a satisfying way of life free from alcohol. Non-alcoholic guests are welcome at ‘Open' meetings. Attendance at ‘Closed' meetings is limited to those who are alcoholic or think they may have an alcoholic problem.

What AA does NOT do

Make medical or psychiatric diagnosis or offer advice.Provide drying out or nursing facilities, hospitalization, drugs, housing, jobs, money or other welfare services.Accept any money for its services or contribution from outside sources.Provide letters of reference to lawyers, court officials, social agencies, employers etc.Engage in or support education, research, or professional treatment. Our recovery is based on sharing our experience, strength and hope with each other, that we may solve a common problem; more importantly, our continued sobriety depends on helping others to recover from alcoholism.

A car (CNG) in fire this morning at Dwarka Express Link Road(near shiv murthy NH8 and Hotel Uppal Orchid).This car is cought fire around 9.10 or so, I got a call from my neighbour about this at 9.17. Unfortunately still over 9.30 Hrs. no Fire Department vehicle arrived. The road being very close to IGI Airport, shows how delay the Fire Department in Responsding to such accident. Imagine if any major accident happens near the airport or on highway? The department needs to increase the response time. God will only help.. REJIMON C KFlat No.453,.

* There must be some CIRCULAR SERVICE to help residents to reach METRO in all Sectors. The lowfloor AC bus would be ideal for Dwarka. Even though it may not be profitable for DTC(normally a resident in Sect 22 pay over Rs.10 just to reach Sect 9 Metro by Rikshaw). However for public transport with time it will come up for profit and it will help the country in reducing spending in OIL by reducing private transport.4. Connecting service with Metro Station with Domestic/International Airport.6. The RTV are a Mess and not suitable for Dwarka as it name suggest(RURAL TRANSPORT VEHICLE).7. There must be connecting service towards South Delhi (Nehruplace/Vasant Kunj/Bikaji/Dhaula Kuan) and West & South West.8. The Depots in Palam/Manglapuri must be moved to Dwarka, where I beleive DDA/Govt NCT Delhi already alloted plot and no action from DTC So far.

* I prefer the following two Route for the following locations(1) Dwarka to Nehru Place / Okhla / NoidaAs we have only one bus route for Nehru Place ie. 764 which over crowded all the times.(2) Dwarka to AIIMS / Lajpat Nagar / NoidaIn the route also we have only one bus route for Palam to Nehru Stadium i.e. 727.

* There is a requirement of Mini Mudrika type feeder service linking all the Sectors or closer to them for connectivity to Shopping complexes etc. Say starting from Sector 1 going towards Sect 4/5 then on to Sect 14 /coming towards 13,12,11,19,18 ,22,23,9,10,6/7 etc.

Once a person gets down from Metro he/she should also be able to utilise DTC Buses within Dwarka.There may be a service to Link South Delhi and on to Hazrat Nizammudin Station via Lajpat Nagar Market.

*I am sure many would benefit from a route covering Dwarka to RK Puram, Bhikaji Cama etc. to cover many office goers both private and Govt. as there is large no. of offices in this zone.Another service up to Nehru Place / Lajpat Nagar via AIIMS etc. would be also useful.

6) Requirement of sheds at bus-stops and public transport within Dwarka –Though the residents of Dwarka and Palam got respite due to the newly constructed palam flyover, several times the commuters have fainted at the bus stops waiting for the bus in the scorching summer heat and sun.The sheds are either in dilapidated condition or missing. This needs addressal and corrective action on priority basis.Also the commuting transport services for intra-Dwarka are missing or very few resulting in over-crowded RTVs which are dangerous especially to the children, senior citizens and ladies. Although metro has provided some reprieve but the unscrupulous rikshawallas fleece the naïve commuters even for taking them a few kms from the metro station to their destinations.

Dwarka - CP route is ok due to the arrival of metro.But Nazafgarh - Dwarka - Nehru Place route require properplanning/ strategy.Even though the frequency of route no 764 is 5-10 min in office hour, it is very difficult to get into the bus. Sometimes wait for 3-4 overcrowded buses to pass to just get in. DTC official should see these buses in office hours to get concrete solutions. They can easily observe the pathetic condition of commuters.

Suggestions:-cut short the route to Dwarka- NP or Dwarka-IIT or Dwarka- BCPfor some buses.-more buses in office hours-Some chartered/ RTV buses charge Rs25/- for Dwaka-NP route.so DTC can run A/C buses @Rs 15/-- and can earn big profits.

* Good option. It is is a private transportation service, funded solely bycommercial property owners.In Dwarka there are thousands of property dealers,they can easily contribute and support this System.

Pl check for the feasibility.

We can have battery operated RTVs in circular routes.can have monthly/ yearly subscription passes...

* We are talking of a Unified service from Dwarka. For residents of Sector 22 and 23, and those who are going to New Custom House(NCH) or Airport for their work there is great problem as the Road from the Railway Gate at Shahbad Mohmadpur will be closed shortly due to airport expansion work.

In view of the above there must be DTC connections which will connect these places through the Under Pass.

Would be highly obliged if we can do something in this regard. I am ready to contribute in this endeavour as many of my Friends are affected.

We sincerely doubt the Dwarkites are punished of daily FOUR HOUR cut because all the societies in Dwarka have DG Backup and power is DIVERTED out to Commercial Establishments?.5 This power cut has been going on since August 2007 and surprisingly whenever we have complained to BSES helpline they do not acknowledge that such a regular power cut has/is taking place.6 We request your kind indulgence to direst BSES, Dwarka to relieve our Society of this uncalled for harassment. Thanking youFor Nav Sansad ViharRWA SECRETARYRejimon CK ----------------------------------------------dear friends,has anyone also filed any RTI or enquiry with BSES for the unscheduled load shedding that has been taking place religiously for past so many months in dwarka area from 9 am to 1030 am, then again 4 pm to 530 pm.it was in the newpaper that BSES will give power 24x7 on diwali days but bang on the diwali 8th nov itself lights went off at 9 AM and again at 4 PM!? this is really crazy!why there is no schedule in the newspaper when everyone knows that lights daily go off at 9 am and 4 pm which means it is a load shedding and not breakdown i.e it is planned. is it true that BSES is selling power to Haryana when it does not have enough for Delhi?regards/Pradeep K.
